Given a sufficient number of instrumental variables significantly correlated with the
investigational variables, consistent estimates of the coefficients of the linear relations can be determined (if they exist), without ...

Dr. Henry Kennedy said that his contribution to the Discussion would
take the form of a detailed estimate of the productive potential of our
land. He would leave to other speakers consideration of the economic
and perhaps ...

This special issue of the Review marks the centenary of the birth of Roy Geary ? Ireland's greatest statistician ? who was born in Drumcondra, Dublin on 11 April, 1896 and died on 8 February, 1983. It is the third occasion ...

It is necessary at the outset to emphasise the experimental character of the paper, the principal object of which is to present the results of a special analysis of a sample of 6,280 families from the Census
of Population ...

While the principal object of this paper is to place on record the
results of a couple of experiments in forecasting population, certain
extended digressions have been made into the past (sometimes the
distant past) not ...

In a recent issue of this journal, Honohan (1996) examined the perperformance of Geary's (1970) count of sign changes or x test as a test of unit roots. The test is based on counting the number of times the plot of a series ...

Estimates of future population render explicit the assumption with
regard to population statistics, which is implicit in the use of most
current statistics, that the tendencies indicated are applicable now and
in the ...

As the Society is aware, during the recent troubles the
system of complete enumeration of agricultural statistics broke
down in this country, and since then it has been necessary to
rely on estimates derived from a ...

Geary's treatment of the "taxi" problem was recently re-examined by Spencer and
Largey (1993). This paper investigates the topic further, partly to place Geary's estimator in the context of more general methods and also ...

There were 3,774 deaths from tuberculosis in Saorstat Eireann in 1929, or 128 per 100,000 of the estimated population.
For the fourth year in succession declines have
been recorded. The rate in 1929 was 6.6% less than ...

The present discussion on the Irish population problem
has been arranged on the invitation of the Director of Broadcasting
by the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland. This Society
which in a few years will ...

Profit sharing (PS) may be defined as an agreement between an employer and workers to pay a share of the profits or wealth created by the organisation, in addition to wages and direct incentives. It is a recognition of the ...

R .C. Geary's association with The Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) was a long and fruitful one. He was the first Director of the Institute which began in 1960 as The Economic Research Institute (ERI), but by ...

Ireland now possesses a fairly full range of price and quantum index numbers which is not to say that they cannot be improved or their range extended. One of the prime objects of the present paper is, in fact, to invite ...

As will appear, the experiments, all based on Irish data, have been
numerous, so I shall dispense as much as possible with preamble and
define decision models as the models which decision model makers make,
adapting the ...

Irish agricultural statistics, going back in an almost unbroken annual sequence for more than a hundred years, are amongst the country's most precious statistical possessions, and indications are that they will assume even ...

Prompted by Geary's (1970) suggestion in a different context, the stationarity of a
plotted time series can be assessed by simply counting the number of times the plot crosses the trend line linking the first and last ...
